Every profiled player links to a charitable organization — player-specific foundations and Kentucky-connected causes.
These charities are directly tied to a Through the Rafters player's personal story — causes they founded, survived, or championed.
For players without a specific personal foundation, we rotate among three organizations with deep ties to the Kentucky basketball family.
Every profiled Through the Rafters player has a charity link at the bottom of their profile page. When we can tie a player to a specific cause — a foundation they started, a disease they or their family faced, or an organization that shaped their journey — we feature that charity directly.
For players where we haven't yet identified a personal cause, we rotate among three Kentucky-connected organizations: Kentucky Children's Hospital, the Emily Krzyzewski Center, and The V Foundation for Cancer Research.
The Through the Rafters project is not affiliated with any of these organizations. All links go directly to each charity's official donation page.
